Final page (5) of Ryan timeline: shirts dirty, ring stains, filthy clothing. Detainees joke and play card games "as if we are children." Black racism from every employee. Called racist/white supremacist. Food brought as if going to bite — guards open door a crack, side meds in, drop and close. Mean-mugging, dirty metal water, food minimal/inedible. "I am a Dog in a Boarding Kennel" - mind blowing. Concludes: "This entire establishment is a Human Machine that generates & produces hate & racism. Employees read The Final Call, make a decision to abuse me for being a pig, dog, animal, beast. For being white. Fucking help me..." Signed by Ryan.
